S2E4: G Williams - Decorating Time & Experiencing the Divine via Media
Join us for a profound conversation with G Williams (she/they/he), not only a close friend and roommate of mine, but also a dedicated community builder with a heart that loves big. In this episode, we chat about the intersections of media consumption and spirituality while delving into how G's commitment to creating safe spaces and paying close attention to loved ones influences their journey of seeking and creating meaning. Explore how "Harry Potter and the Sacred Text" has influenced G's theological outlook, becoming integral to their ministry journey. Learn how music playlists serve as altars in G's spiritual practice, and unravel the concept of reframing media as a tool to deepen our understanding of the human experience. Phoenix Mendoza’s best selling book (mentioned in the episode) can be found here: valsec.barnesandnoble.com/w/salivation-phoenix-mendoza/1144755195?ean=9798855678710

S2E2: Rob Bell - Love, Loss & Bread

S2E1: Phoenix Mendoza - The Carnal, Compostable, and Corporeal
Welcome to my first interview episode!
Phoenix Mendoza lives in the woods with her wife where she raises pigeons, buries roadkill, and writes. An unashamed enthusiast of the carnal, compostable, and corporeal, she is wholly dedicated to finding and luxuriating in the junction where beauty and disgust meet to rot together. She writes horror like erotica and erotica like horror. SALIVATION is her debut anthology.
Phoenix Mendoza also teaches a unique writing class focused not on technical mastery, but on creation without shame. She seeks to help writers find their truest and most honest voices. It’s a selfish thing— in this age of bland commodification and censorship, she wishes there were more fearless and fanged books to read, especially those written by women and lesbians about women and lesbians for women and lesbians, (though you do not have to be a woman or a lesbian to attend BLOOD/INK/BONE, her eight-month transformative writing course).

LIfe Said: “Pause.”
It’s with a heavy heart that I share that I’ve decided not to move to Colorado right now because it doesn’t feel like a financially or emotionally responsible thing to do right now. As I process everything that’s happened over the last year I will likely be MIA for a while. While I might not be active on my creative projects like this podcast for a bit, please feel free to message me privately to stay in touch. Love you guys 💜🫂

Imbolc, Leadership & Uncertainty
A culmination of thoughts. Today is Imbolc! The celebration of Imbolc originates from the Celts. Imbolc symbolizes the halfway point between the winter solstice (Yule) and the spring equinox (Ostara). The word "imbolc" means "in the belly of the Mother," because the seeds of spring are beginning to stir in the belly of Mother Earth. Also, a few thoughts on leadership and uncertainty as I reflect on what I want to do this next year.

Belonging
A few thoughts on what it means to belong in as a queer, multiracial, neurodivergent human being in a society that wasn’t built for us. Especially seeing representation in things like film - I just watched “Bros” and really enjoyed it. But it got me thinking about how important it is to see ourselves represented in media…and how much work we still have to do.
